You were told here to give a more concrete example of your data, and what you've tried (or were looking at trying). Though the CPAN suggestion is a good one if there's no obvious reason why you can't use it. CPAN modules are great. It's Code You Don't Have To Write : )

So if you are looking for more/different answers here, likely we'd also need more information as well. So go ahead and post it.
